Dear Isaac,
Yesterday morning Daddy and I were able to spend some great time with you. After laying in bed and talking for a long while, we went to have some breakfast and took a nice walk at the park. The weather was cool, but it was still very sunny. It was a beautiful morning.
When we got back home, Daddy and I planted a rose bush that Pop Pop and Grandma Mia had given us in honor of you. It took a little while to get it planted, but it will look beautiful as it starts to grow and to bloom. It has already bloomed a little bit, and the roses are a wonderful shade of yellow and smell very sweet. I am so thankful that we'll have something to look at and always think of you.
Daddy went to play golf with John yesterday afternoon and he said they had a lot of fun. You have the best Daddy in the world... he loves you so much. I hope you're able to hear him when he talks to you and says good night to you each night.
I love you so much, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
Today Daddy and I are going to plant a rose bush that Pop Pop and Grandma Mia gave us. It has beautiful yellow blossoms that smell very sweet on it. I like to think of it as our "Isaac" bush... I know it will always make me think of you.
During small group last night you were kicking around like crazy. A few times you kicked my ribs. That's a new thing for you... it must mean your legs are growing and getting even longer. I love how strong you are with your little legs... sometimes you kick so hard it feels like your leg is going to pop right out of my tummy! I love that.
I love you so much, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
Yesterday you got a present in the mail from Lauren and baby Norrah. There was a CD filled with beautiful songs, and I played a couple of them for you yesterday afternoon. There was also a precious hand-made quilt with the fruits of the spirit embroidered through it. It has lots of bright green and blue, and some purple. It is gorgeous.
You have continued to be moving around a lot, and both Daddy and I just love it. I love that Daddy gets to feel you move even more often. I know he's very glad about that, too.
Mom Mom is coming to visit and have lunch with me at work today. I am hoping you'll be as wiggly as you usually are so she can feel your big old kicks, too! I am very glad that after work today it's the weekend and we'll get some time to just relax and be with you. I am so glad for today... that you are alive and that you are still with us.
I love you so much, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
I ordered a few more outfits for you a few days ago and they came in the mail yesterday. They, too, are very soft and snuggly. Daddy and I just wanted to have several options of things that would allow you to feel comfortable.
You were moving around like crazy again yesterday. I loved being able to feel that and to be able to look down at my tummy during the day and see it moving because you were moving. I can't wait until I get to hold you, but I am going to miss getting to feel you move inside my tummy.
I love you so much, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
Yesterday Mommy and Daddy had to go to the doctor and we got to hear your heartbeat on the ultrasound machine. It was still very, very strong, and you were wiggling around like crazy. I love it when you do that.
We also learned that your birthday is going to be October 7, unless God decides it's time for you to come early. I looked up every book in the Bible with a chapter 10, verse 7, and none of them seemed to fit you very well. Then I looked up Psalm 107. It's pretty long, but there were some verses in there that I loved...
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men,
9 for he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.
13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the deepest gloom
and broke away their chains.
15 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men
19 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
20 He sent forth his word and healed them;
he rescued them from the grave.
21 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men.
43 Whoever is wise, let him heed these things
and consider the great love of the LORD.
There are other good parts of that Psalm, but these were some of my favorites.
As I write this, I am playing you some more music, and you seem to like it. I love being able to share this time with you in the morning. It's very special for Mommy, and I hope it lets you know how much I love you.
I love you, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
I loved that we got to spend so much time together yesterday. I had to pretty much just lay on the couch all day, and I was able to just put my hands on my tummy and feel you move all over the place. You were very, very active. I could feel your little legs moving up and down... at least that's what I think it was since I know how you're positioned in there. I know the medicine I am taking makes me a little jittery, and it seems to make you feel that way, too. I hope you're okay in there and that the medicine isn't too much. I worry about that. I just want you to feel safe and comfortable.
Daddy and I go to the doctor's today. We will be getting to see you on the ultrasound machine, too. We'll be talking with the doctor about the day you'll be born. It is supposed to be one month from now, but I am starting to wonder if perhaps it will be sooner. In a way I hope not; Mommy isn't ready to give up getting to feel all of your kicks and wiggles yet.
I love you so much, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
Today Mommy has to stay home and rest to make sure that those contractions don't come back. I am taking a medicine that makes me a little jittery, and I think it makes you a little jittery, too, because I felt you move around a lot more yesterday since I started taking it.
I am looking forward to just getting to be with you these next two days, playing you music, and feeling you wiggle and kick. As much as I am looking forward to meeting you, I am not ready to give up feeling you move around inside me just yet. That has to be my favorite feeling of all time because it's just such a special thing that you and I get to share.
I love you so much, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy
